Same Forest. Different Monkeys.

Rugby. Sales. Business. Life. Politics. Relationships.

Kenya lost to Zimbabwe again. But this isn’t just rugby — it’s about how we keep failing familiar.

Rugby: Failing Familiar

Zimbabwe = structure, basics, discipline.
Kenya = maandamano rugby — chaos, instinct, blame the ref.
Beautiful when it works. Disaster when it doesn’t.

Sales & Business: Failing Familiar

Leads go cold. Follow-ups vanish.
We recycle failed strategies.
Burnout follows.
👉 Stop failing familiar.

Life & Relationships

We chase the same red flags in new packaging.
“Different this time.” Nope — same heartbreak, new Instagram handle.

Politics

Government forgot protests are in Kenya’s DNA. Gen Z re-entered the chat: no leaders, no tribes, just hashtags and M-Pesa tills.

Final Word

If you don’t study history, life keeps handing you the same test — harder and more expensive.

👉 Fail forward, yes. But stop failing familiar.

Same forest. Different monkeys.
